Tax Inspectors Without Borders: 
A decade of niche assistance to developing countries

 

12 March 2024 | 13:45 - 14:45 CET
Virtual Zoom Meeting

 

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) launched the Tax Inspectors Without Borders (TIWB) initiative in 2015 to support developing countries in addressing widespread tax evasion and avoidance by multinational enterprises (MNEs). Over the past decade, TIWB has helped developing countries raise more than USD 2 billion in additional revenue and generated other positive results. This session will highlight the key outcomes of TIWB’s work over the last 10 years and discuss how TIWB will support developing countries in the future. A roundtable discussion will showcase the experiences of tax administrations receiving and providing support under TIWB programmes.

 

On Wednesday, 12 March 2025, this session will brief stakeholders and the public on the initiative’s activities over the last decade. This virtual meeting is part of the briefings provided by the OECD during its Tax and Development Days 2025.

 

This event is open to the public. English/French/Spanish interpretation will be available. Participants are required to pre-register for Session 2 (Room 1) in order to attend.
